EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's masterpiece, "The Call to Peter" created in the mid-18th century. The artwork, executed with pen and wash technique, depicts a pivotal moment from the biblical narrative of Saint Peter being summoned by Jesus Christ. Tiepolo, an esteemed Italian Venetian painter and printmaker of his time, left an indelible mark on the art world through his frescoes adorning churches and palaces across Italy, Germany, and Spain. His artistic prowess earned him recognition as one of the most influential artists of the period. "The Call to Peter" is just one example of Tiepolo's ability to capture grandeur in his works. This particular piece was once part of the renowned Former Orloff Collection in Paris, France. Accompanied by Detlev Baron Von Hadeln's illustration from "The Drawings of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo" this print offers viewers a glimpse into Tiepolo's mastery over various mediums such as etchings and oil paintings. As we admire this monochrome image featuring boats on water transporting individuals towards their spiritual destination under Saint Peter's guidance, it serves as a reminder not only of Tiepolo's talent but also our own personal journeys seeking enlightenment and faith.
